I have been at The Belfry for over 6 years now when I started as a Chef de Partie. After 1 year, I was promoted to Junior Sous Chef, and in 2022, I was then promoted to Sous Chef. My favourite thing about working at The Belfry is that through any challenges, we are a family. Even when it’s really busy, we always get lots of support from the Executive Chef and from my Head Chef.
I have been working at the Belfry for 25 years and came straight from school. Originally, I wanted to join the police cadets, but as the funding was cancelled the same year, I had to find something different. I started as Kitchen Porter and applied for an apprenticeship as Chef at the hotel at the same time. After the 2-year course I worked my way up all the ranks and different Kitchens.
